A B and C? or a fourth where no variant color border shows up? a D sheet. So the 1st series may have had 4 different sheets. Card #29 and the debusschere definitely are on different sheets.

I don't think any series or sets issued in standard size by Topps has had more than two half sheets involved. Probably any size card actually now that I think about it, although it seems that way sometimes. The way the printers set it up was each half of the sheet (132 cards here) was called a slit and there is slit a and slit b for a full (264 card) sheet. I have found that to be consistent in the documentation that still exists. There were however, multiple press runs where sometimes changes were made between each.
